Nice! It looks like it will be a blue or black check. Band it today if you're going to!

Quick question
His parents have been mating earlier
Do you think that they will lay anytime soon?and I saw the male chasing the female around today. I was wondering because the baby is just a week old
Is possible for them to lay again anytime soon?

Yes, expect eggs in another week. Give them a good place to lay in please!

Some updated photos of the Rollers, I’m not 100% but I think I’ve got two pairs. The babies are growing nicely, just waiting to see what colors they turn out to be

Do you plan on training them to fly out of a KIT, or just loft fly?

 

[RingedTeal]

@Imammusa yes I took them just a few minutes before I posted them
@cavemanrich I’m not sure, id like to kit fly them but I haven’t tested their rolling ability yet. I plan on getting homers and doing a few mile long flights so even if these don’t roll I would be 100% fine with just loft flying them

Anyone still care about Olive?

We've had her a couple years now, and she is everyone's best friend. Always come when called, knows her name.

Olive who?

We all miss Olive! What has she been up to lately?

@Pigeon28 I have the solution to your feed! If you need more protein, soybeans! They are packed with it! Supposedly they are poisonous unless roasted, but I doubt that. Because, soy beans are grown here a lot and the ferals devour them, and they aren't roasted. I just bought this new feed online, and so far I like it. It has fewer peas (yay!) And more smaller grains (yay!) . It has soy beans, that are roasted, and they puts the protein up. The red has about 13% protein, which is perfect for me. I am fostering it up some though, I'm going to add 15 pounds of wheat (no one puts enough wheat in their feed, but I can't complain, as it saves me money!) And 15 pounds of millet. If you buy two bags, it's free shipping. https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai...wj1h4yKn4frAhXXLc0KHSCfAB4Qwg96BAgLEAY&adurl=
